Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas Village early on Monday morning killing at least 50
His brother Eric tells DailyMail.com his family have no idea what happened to make him shoot
'He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something,' he said
The brother of the Las Vegas shooter said that he was a normal guy who must have 'snapped' before carrying out the worst mass shooting in American history.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, Eric Paddock said that 'something happened' to make his brother Stephen kill at least 50 people and injure 200.
Eric said that there was 'absolutely no indication he could do something like this' and said that Stephen had no political or religious affiliation.
He said: 'He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something'.
Speaking from his home in Orlando, Florida, Eric said: 'We know absolutely nothing, this is just, we are dumbfounded.

Unconfirmed report that a woman was seen moving through the crowd before the show began, saying “you are going to die tonight.” As with many “details” that emerge after a tragedy of this type, take that report with a huge grain of salt. Much of the “information” that emerges—even from official sources—will be dead wrong.
This much is certain: the MSM is currently mounting a full court press to find anything that ties the shooter to conservatism and/or Donald Trump. But if he somehow turns out to be a Bernie Bro (like the assassin who tried to kill Republican Congressmen at the baseball practice in June), the debate will focus on mental health and gun control.
No run of the mill retired dude could have weapons like that, afford a room like that from September 19 on, know how to use weapons like that, have a 13 tattood on his neck like that, have a girlfriend like that, be so cold hearted like that.
I say the girlfriend is a Muslim, he is an ex-con, he is in a sleeper cell, well financed by someone, and his family knows damn well he is a loony tune.
I know. That was my first question!!
Deep State Black Ops
I’ll tell you what I do know. When they raid his place, they’ll find his computer either gone or the hard drive destroyed to cover his tracks. The ONLY reason you do that is to keep from exposing any accomplices.
Might be a Mary Louise nickname, or something else. Many Filipinas contract their given names, esp if Maria something. Like Maria Victoria becomes “Marivic”
According to the Australian press, the woman involved is an Australian passport holder of Indonesian descent.
Yeah. Sure. “Snapped,” and with no motive, happened to be with those particular weapons at that time, that place with that noisy environment, that elevation and so on.
Saw the same comment; rather curious, particularly when the police in the community where he lived (Mesquite) had no reported contact with him.
And even that is a little odd; the shooter was (reportedly) the manager of a retirement complex. Folks who run apartment or condo complexes have frequent contact with the cops, who investigate crimes on the property, handle evictions, serve warrants, etc. Admittedly, a senior complex is usually fairly quiet (and the cops don’t show up as often), but the notion of him being an “unknown” to local police is a bit odd.
What unusual logistics would need to be involved?
THIS
Yep. I’d have to bet that Mandalay Bay has been sold out for weeks or months for that concert.
Exactly, this is not a “snapped” situation. Checked in 3 days ago, hundreds of rounds (heavy!), 10 rifles, surveillance cameras set up, 2 shooting platforms? C’mon saying “snapped” is code for COVER UP!
Amazingly good point here. His comment implies a distrust and perhaps hatred of the FBI.... just sayin.
Wow, the story sure changes fast. Early reports suggested she was with him in the room when he opened fire. Just one more reason to regard everything you see (and hear) in the next 24 hours with deep suspicion.
Really? When did you talk to your brother last?
Might be he went internet dark some time ago, no internet history, no red flags. That must piss off some people, to not have an internet history, no Facebook or Twitter rant page.
I’m guessing “known to police” means he had been making threats of some kind. I can’t believe anyone would have a 13 tattoo when they had never been to prison.
Fog of war
That’s what they all say. I bet he was told by lawyers to say that.
